‘Significant’ patient population unresponsive to existing schizophrenia treatments, highlighting ‘major unmet clinical need’, according to PhD researcher Keelin Harrison.
Keelin Harrison is a PhD student researching the role of neuroinflammation in the pathology of schizophrenia.
“What is becoming increasingly clear”, Harrison says, “is that neuroinflammation is a highly dynamic process, and understanding how it interacts with structural and circuit-level changes in the brain remains an evolving area of research.
“Building on this foundation, my PhD project aims to further investigate these mechanisms and explore their potential role as therapeutic targets.” She is a researcher at the FutureNeuro Research Ireland Centre for Translational Brain Science, based at RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences.
